there was nothing TO cause alarm
The races were Ms whole a tizZle, |
owing To DIS agreement between some
of the judges and some of those entered
Tor the Races Geo LaRue became in
dignant and drove off the track, and this
Disguised not only the judges. and the
directors of the fir, but the audience as
well. The running race was won by T.
K in 1:524
The W. G. T, U had on the grounds an
attractive booth decorated with apprnpri
ate notices. where packages. etc. We're
checked The plan afforded much con,
venience to those taking bundles To the
fair.
The only thing about the fair which
caused severe criticism was the dining
hall. and it was condemned on all sides.
1t was thought little peculiar that the
Central City base ball club should be
charged admission to the grounds. and an
entering fee for the game as well, but
this WAS probably owing To misunders
standing, lnssmuch as the club from
this city formed part of the attractions
the members should certainly have had
free admission to the grounds
